USS’ Adel Sayegh
Receives an
Award for
His Contribution to Law Enforcement

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., (October 30, 2014) -
Adel Sayegh, founder and CEO of USS, has received an official
recognition
from California Peace Officers Association for his efforts to improve the
safety
of police officers.

Sayegh worked with USS R&D team to develop a special vest for police
dogs that
combines wireless video and GPS systems. In search and rescue operations, as
well as when tracking down suspects, the wireless system allows police
officers
to view on their smartphones what the dog sees, and to follow the dog’s
movements via GPS.

Sayegh donated first batch of vests to San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department,
and
they were immediately put to use on the department’s bloodhounds. “The
ability
to send the dog in pursuit of the suspect, or in search of a missing person,
and
then being able to see what the dog sees, means greater safety for the
deputies,” said Sayegh of the donated equipment. “The deputies can know
ahead of
time if the suspect is armed, and in the case of missing persons search, can
let
the dog locate the subject, then locate the dog via GPS.”

Sayegh
received his recognition at the annual awards ceremony of the California
Peace
Officers Association, in front of over 2,000 representatives of state and
local
law enforcement agencies. As many departments around the country are facing
the
prospects of having to give up their bite dogs due to potential lawsuits
coming
from pursued suspects, the new wireless video and GPS system promises to
address
that problem by offering video and GPS records of pursuits.
